  Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat.Some of them are big.And they can eat small animals.One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草).

  The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant.It grows in dry parts of the United States.Its leaves are like the pages of a book.They can open and close very quickly.Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs.If a fly touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly.The fly cannot get out.In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead.Then, the plant covers the fly.Slowly, the plant eats the fly.

  Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air, and the ground.In some places, the ground is very poor.It doesn’t have all these important things, especially nitrogen(氮).Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need.Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea!

  No one can change the weather.Nobody can control the weather.But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be.This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报).

  For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting.Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain.That many people feel their joints(关节)hurt is a sign of wet weather.Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way.If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine.Such rainbows come in the evening.If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue.If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm.If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine.If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.
